Moon Child by Tracy E. Banghart Cover Reveal

Before Emma's adventures in Oxford, her best friend Diana came face-to-face with a killer...

Diana Calvert is so over high school. Who cares if Olivia hates her? And David needs to forget about having a crush on her STAT. Even Emma’s crazy fashion choices can’t keep Diana entertained. All she can hope for is a dance scholarship to a college as far away as possible from too-small, too-boring, too-nothing-ever-happens New Freedom, PA.

And then, of course, something does happen. Diana meets Nicholas Woodhaven. He’s pale, angry…yet weirdly charming. And she can’t stop thinking about him. The more time they spend together, the more she wonders who – or what – he really is. Because he isn’t anything like the other guys she knows. Not with the whole only-going-out-at-night thing. And living with his creepy aunt. And not going to school.

Just when Diana thinks she’s got Nicholas all figured out, people in her small, nothing-ever-happens town start dying. She has to wonder – can she trust him? And even more alarming – could she be next?

A murder mystery with a paranormal twist, Moon Child is best read under the covers with a flashlight...if you dare!

By Blood by Tracy E. Banghart

Series: By Blood #1Genre: YA Paranormal

Synopsis:

For
17-year-old Emma Wong, spending a summer in England should be a dream
come true. Gorgeous scenery? Check. Lots of hot guys with accents? Yes,
please.

Throw in an estranged mom, annoying new stepdad, and
drooling baby half-brother, and it’s a disaster even her favorite cherry
red leather jacket can’t fix. Even worse, there’s (hot) live-in
research assistant Josh to contend with. The only thing more
embarrassing than drunk-kissing him hours after they meet? Knowing
he’ll be witness to her family’s dysfunction all. summer. long.

But
when Emma meets a mysterious girl who happens to be a Druid,
her vacation suddenly promises to be far more intriguing than
she anticipated. Powerful rituals, new friends, an intoxicating sense
of freedom...and Simon, the sexy foreign stranger she was hoping
for. It’s all a perfect distraction from dirty diapers and awkward
family dinners.

Trouble is, intriguing doesn’t often mean simple. And Emma is about to discover just how not simple her life really is.

By Blood is a novel about the ways that blood can bind us to others – or tear us apart.

movie–loving, fantasy football–playing (go Ravens!), globe-trotting Army
wife who began “practicing” her craft at the age of five, when she
wrote her first story. She loves visiting the international friends she
met while pursuing her MA in Publishing and spends a portion of every
summer at her family’s cabin in Canada, where she finds inspiration and
lots of time to relax on the dock. She lives with her husband, son, two
lazy dogs and one ornery cat. When not writing or spending time with
her family, she is on a mission to bake the perfect cupcake.
